Today's devotional reading for:
Sunday, Oct 6, 2019 Rejoice in the Lord
“Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!”
—Philippians 4:4
Paul’s letter to the Philippian Christians is an epistle of joy.
The words joy, rejoice, and rejoicing appear over and over again in this epistle. In the final chapter, Paul gives this command.
It is an imperative: Rejoice in the Lord!
Now we generally tend to say to people,” Well, I hope you will be happy.” Paul never said that. He said, “Rejoice!”
That’s a command, an imperative in the Lord.
Why is that important?
We tend to look upon that as some peripheral issue of not too much importance. But Paul obviously felt it to be a very important matter.
I think the secret of why this is important can be found in the fact that in Nehemiah 8:10 we are told that the joy of the Lord is our strength.
One thing that is true of all strong Christians, they enjoy the Lord.
And so consequently they spend much time with Him, in His word, in prayer and in service to Him, and it shows in their countenance.
A great resource for the Christian is found in the hymnal.
Here we have centuries of beautiful psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs written by Christians throughout the ages.
As one of the hymns says, “I sing because I’m happy.
I sing because I’m free.” Jesus has made me free.
With His joy you will be able to serve.
With His joy, you will be able to be a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, rejoice!
Lord, You are my joy and You are my song. I thank You that I can rejoice before You today. When my day is hard and my song stilled, then will I praise You and You will fill my heart with Your presence and joy…
BY GOD’S STRENGTH,
WE CAN ALWAYS REJOICE.  | ||||||

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!
